Oven grilled shrimp cocktail recipe. Grilled shrimp with garlic and spices served with yummy homemade hot sauce. This delicious recipe adapted from https://www.garlicandzest.com

The quality of the shrimp make a difference- I prefer to use fresh shrimp. There are many sizes of shrimp and depending on variety, shells may be light grey, brownish-pink or red. When cooked, the shell will become reddish and meat will turn pink. Shrimp should have a mild odor and firm-textured meat.

Add shrimp and marinate for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally and making sure shrimp are covered completely with the marinade.

Tread the shrimp into metal and soaked bamboo skewers. Preheat the grill to high. Add shrimp skewers and cook for 3-5 minutes or until they are pink, turning once. Remove grilled shrimp skewers from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
